Rochy Shore

The rocky shore is an environment that creates a connection between the forest and the ocean. Formed by large rocky walls, it presents a vast diversity of species adapted to live in different areas, according to the tidal variation. This connection allows the flow of organic matter between ecosystems, enriching them and making them shelter, feeding and reproduction areas.

Supralittoral it is the region that is out of the water and receives splashes from the waves. In these areas live: barnacles, mussels and sea cockroaches. Mesolittoral is the region that is exposed at low tide and covered at high tide. In this area, in addition to barnacles and mussels, we find green algae and gastropods. Infralittoral is the region always covered by sea water. In this place live species of starfish, sea urchin and octopus.
